Please vote for which rotation you'd like next on the server. The poll will close @ 11:59 p.m. EST on Wednesday.

This appeal and its replies are in a public forum and can be seen by all. What server were you banned from?: Call of Duty 4When did you get banned?: Last WeekWhat was your in-game name?: [PH]LightsOutWhat is your game GUID (if known): Why do you think you were banned?: I was banned for playing two seconds of audio in Trump's voice, "I am the Trumpinator". We should not lose sight of what is lost through the decision to ban political discussions. In an age increasingly marked by incivility, we need places where we can learn (or relearn) the practice of civil disagreement—that is, the art of disputing others’ ideas in ways that respect those persons’ intrinsic worth. I agree the website is the best place to have these discussions. Three years ago, I was banned for responding to an issue relating to politics in the game. To be frank, I come to play, not discuss politics, and in every situation someone else made a comment and I responded. I feel like the kid who got punched on the playground and then got caught punching back and the only one who got in trouble. I've been told to go public and request the ban be lifted if I want to continue to play on your servers, so here I am. I want to remind you that I have not been a freeloader and that I have contributed financially to the donation program to help keep the game servers financed. As you and your team ponder on making this a permanent ban, allow me to add something you might want to consider. The only time I continued a discussion when asked to stop was three years ago, and I continued because my country was going to hell, lies were being perpetuated about much more than President Trump, the cabal's plandemic was destroying the business I had worked 25 years to build, and I was very angry and passionate about wanting to get the truth out to anyone who was willing to listen. The current situation (BAN) is really based upon two things and not me talking politics or the playing of two seconds of Trump's voice saying, "I'm the Trumpinator", or the use of BuckFiden as an occasional game name (WHICH I HAVE BEEN TOLD IS AN ACCEPTABLE NAME AND PERMITTED). The fact is I frustrate certain players (primarily on the FFA servers) because I do often dominate and these players have made it clear to me that they hate it when I play because it "isn't fun being owned", and second there are far left individuals who believe lies about Trump and therefore hate me just because they know that I support him. These same individuals provoke discussions that are political to try and set me up knowing that I will likely respond and get into trouble. This is a fact. I bet I could name the names of the people who are complaining and screaming the loudest who want me banned for these reasons. This is an adult server and all of these things in reality should not be an issue, but it is what it is. If you decide to make this a temp ban, I will promise to report anyone who tries to get me to talk politics, I will continue to refrain from talking politics, and it is not a problem to refrain from playing sound effects that might trigger these people. Even though you said political names are permitted, I can also refrain from using those. Sometimes I may use them playing on another server, but since you think the names promote the political comments, I can change the name back to my game name upon joining, if you prefer. As Roxy said to me in a private message, "Personally, I think you are a good and pleasant player and that you have a high interest in the political scene in your country". I believe MOST players appreciate my disposition and game play.

Hi from Indiana!

I wonder who those two guys are?? I know Monkie is plotting already to get his revenge.

i know looking very christmassy for november

Looks like trouble if you ask me lol The wife and I are planning a trip over the pond next May/June for the first time, I hope to find time to meet up with a few of you.

Great evening and a good laugh Had a bit of a headache the next morning. @monkie tried a revenge as I gave him a special rum the last time but he failed miserably.

I just seen this today on the XI Insurgency Discord from one of our regulars who knew Snap well. "Just as a heads up to everyone, Snap XI (Paul) recently passed away on the 14th of November due to Pneumonia and complications with prior conditions, his Nephew currently has access to his discord account and are in the process of putting something together to potentially have a place to leave messages for his wife who is very familiar with his love of the gaming communities he was part of. Paul was 75 and loved gaming right until the end, I'm sure you've all had great experiences with him over the years, you can forward messages to his Nephew via his discord account (snap5285) or hopefully something will be in place soon to put them all in one place. His family will be keeping an eye on the Insurgency discord for any messages or memories to pass onto his wife" RIP Snap
